'Someone at the council got a little bit crazy with the cycle lane planning. It kind of makes sense. Whatever the logic behind all this, the upshot is that two lanes of traffic on what is supposed to be one of London's bike arteries have to cross over each other face to face. Great work council guy! The right conclusion to draw from this is that segregated cycle lanes of this kind are a bad idea. There are already plenty of serious studies showing just how bad an idea, for various reasons; this photo can be added lightly to the pile.' From

'This farcical cycle path measures a massive 32ft 5in long. This one must be unique in having a two-way system, small enough for a head on handlebar collision should two bikes pass. It leads straight onto the junction of a main road at one end, and a pedestrian pavement at the other.' From
